      American here, we don’t use those dumb measurements over here. Cornish game hen, what a stupid name for a unit of measurement, probably named after a place in England.

      That’s roughly the equivalent of 500 Skittles.

    Quite a ways behind the largest diamond ever discovered, though!

    (I know, I know, technically we don’t know if the carbon is diamond, just let me have my fun)
